Chapter 252: Aftermath Turmoil
The rocket is in the spotlight again, can it not be in the spotlight?
A freshly released Chinese champion, on the second day after the end of the draft, there were many calls from more types of Chinese sponsors, and the calls of the Rocket's overseas business department and commercial department had already been blown up.
At this time, Tiger was talking to Da Yao on the phone, and he heard Tiger say: "Hi, Da Yao, hello, I'm Tiger?" Jones. ”
Da Yao on the other side of the phone was a little confused, he was ready to say hello to his opponent in broken English, but he didn't expect the other party to use such fluent Chinese to communicate with him, I heard the bus say that the boss of the rocket can speak Chinese, but what I didn't expect was that this guy's Chinese was so proficient, it was amazing.
Da Yao, who was flurn for a few seconds, reacted, although he was only 19 years old, but Da Yao, who had played in world-level competitions since he was 16 years old, was not very stage frightened, and said very calmly: "Hello Mr. Jones, it's a pleasure to talk to you." ”
Tiger laughed and said: "Okay, okay, don't be so literate, I'm a very casual person, don't be so formal, then formal is not interesting, how about man, isn't it nice to hear that I am the champion." ”
After all, Da Yao is only a 19-year-old child, and when he heard the boss say this, he smiled very shyly and said: "Of course I'm very happy, you don't know, I didn't sleep all night last night, just knowing that Lelai is happy." ”
Tiger laughed when he heard it, he knew the value of Da Yao, what kind of player such a big man would become, so Tiger comforted Da Yao and said: "Man, don't be like this, you have to know that you are the champion now, you have to have the fan of the champion, and you have to have the best share like before, you have to know that you are the first Chinese champion, an Asian champion, what kind of concept will this be You should know." By the way, the staff of the Rockets will be in Shanghai tomorrow, and I think the personnel of the Asian branch of the Rocket Club should be by your side, and I think you are ready to be your agent. ”
Da Yao quietly listened to the chatter of the young boss on the other side of the phone, but he didn't feel bored at all, because this young man who was ten years older than him was telling his little brother like a big brother, and when someone asked Da Yao about his first impression of the rocket a few years later, Da Yao replied without thinking about it: Very kind, Tiger was like my big brother at the time to describe my future to me, but he also warned me that if I was selected as the champion, there would be pressure to be the champion, you kid don't let the pressure crush you, Because the NBA is a very cruel league, he does not want the champion he chooses to become a joke of the league, which will not only lose his own face but also the face of the Chinese, from which time, I have made up my mind that the NBA must play a look, not to let people look down on me, let alone look down on the Chinese.
After talking nonsense with Da Yao for a while, Tiger hung up the phone, and then leisurely drank tea, smoked a cigar, and waited for Dawson to report to himself later, how many Chinese companies have begun to pay attention to rockets in just one day.
After a while, Dawson came in sweaty, Tiger looked at Dawson's appearance, and said with a smile: "Dawson quickly sit down and rest for a while, see you are sweating profusely." ”
After speaking, he quickly asked Dawson to sit down, and sent a glass of mineral water, Dawson did not politely do it, and he bottomed out with a glass of water as soon as he raised his neck, and then said with a long breath: "Boss, you are really a genius, do you know, in just one day, nearly 500 companies have contacted us, 80% of them are Chinese companies, including some companies in this and South Korea, the morale of these people is really too big, they don't take money properly, as soon as they open their mouths, they are tens of millions of dollars, and their eyebrows are not blinking, That's amazing. ”
Tiger laughed and said: "Yes, you don't know these Asians very well, the current Rockets can be said to be the fattest piece of beef, I don't know how many people are staring at it, if Da Yao plays good statistics and results in the NBA, I believe these financiers will take out more money from their beloved pockets to please us." ”
Dawson said in disbelief: "It's really terrifying, I finally know the value of this person now, the future No. 1 center in Asia, even the No. 1 center in the NBA, a core player of a team that has won several consecutive championships, oh my God, we have dug up a cash cow." ”
Tiger smiled and looked at Dawson without saying a word, but in his heart Tiger muttered to himself: In the last life, Alexander's bastard made enough benefits for Da Yao, milky, the most annoying thing is that you are able to get benefits, but you TMD is not big Yao to find a good substitute, tired Da Yao went home at the age of 30 and counted the stars, you big bastard, in this life, I don't let Da Yao become the best center in 20 years, then I will live in vain.
In addition to the economy, the overall image of the Rockets in China is a significant increase, last year's victory over the Bulls made a large part of Chinese fans who like Jordan regard the Rockets as enemies, but when the first Chinese NBA champion appeared, all Chinese fans began to pay attention to the Rockets and even began to become fans of the Rockets.
A large number of Chinese journalists swept across the Pacific Ocean like locusts, directly killing Houston, and a huge wave of reporters appeared in Houston.
On the third day of the draft, the receptionists of Team Rocket's news team were completely dumbfounded, and nearly 1,000 Chinese reporters appeared in droves in Team Rocket's office area.
The reception lady has been stupid, she can also speak some Chinese, but after facing nearly a thousand Chinese reporters, she is also completely dished, when she called Dawson with trembling hands, and Dawson also told Tiger the news, Tiger was also a little flustered.
After thinking for a while, Tiger said: "Well, I guess our press conference hall can't fit in, you go to the stadium now, immediately set it up simply, and then let these people go there, I'll go over right now and hold a press conference, otherwise, these Chinese reporters can eat us." ”
Hanging up the phone, Tiger patted Amy, who was still sleeping next to him, and Amy said with sleepy eyes: "Tiger, whose phone is it." ”
Tiger smiled softly: "It's Dawson's call, you know, the Chinese champion we selected has become the focus, and those reporters in China have almost blown up the big man, but I didn't expect these uncrowned kings of China to come to the United States so quickly, these people are really blind if they don't go to be paparazzi." ”
Amy, who had woken up, gave Tiger a blank look and said, "Don't make up people anymore, go quickly." ”
Tiger answered, got up and went to wash.
Amy also got up and picked up the phone, and told the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Tiger.
After a while, Tiger had finished washing, and he saw that Amy was also changing clothes and washing.
Tiger asked strangely, "Amy, what are you doing, are you going out too?" ”
Amy Jiao smiled: "I want to see with you what the Chinese reporters you said are like, and I'm afraid that you will fall for other people's beauty tricks." ”
Tiger listened to the black line at one end and sneered: "As for me like that, there is a beautiful woman by my side, who is together every day, what beauty tricks are useful to me." ”
Amy gave Tiger a charming look, and then continued to wash up.
After the two of them had washed up and changed their clothes, and the kitchen was ready for breakfast, the two of them took the car and went straight to the Compaq Center.
When the two arrived at the Compaq Center, Dawson was already anxiously waiting for Tiger at the door.
After seeing Tiger leading Amy to push the car door and get out of the car, Dawson said anxiously: "Boss, you are finally here, now that group of Chinese reporters have gathered a group, oh my God, there are so many people they brought here, and some American reporters have also arrived, and some reporters from this country and South Korea have also come." ”
Tiger said a little strangely: "I choose Chinese, I and Koreans come to make a scene." ”
Dawson didn't know what was going on, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Tiger thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, anyone can come, we will all entertain today." ”
After finishing speaking, holding Amy's soft little hand, the two walked into the gate of Compaq Center, and when they came to the stadium venue, there were familiar American reporters greeting Tiger, and Tiger also smiled and waved.
I have to say that Tiger and Amy are really very fanning now, the two are holding hands, and when they walked in from the door, quite a few Chinese reporters couldn't believe that such a young pair of golden boys and girls were the current boss of the rocket and the future boss lady.
Walking to the temporary news station, he said with a smile: "It's my honor to be with so many friends from the press today, but I declare in advance that if we ask a personal question about the rocket today, I won't answer any personal questions." ”
All the reporters chuckled, slightly relieving the atmosphere on the field.
Immediately, Tiger said: "Dear domestic journalists, it is an honor for the Rockets to have so many Chinese reporters here today. They are guests after all. ”
The American reporters who were working agreed with this, but some reporters and South Korean reporters expressed their dissatisfaction, and some reporters shouted: "Why don't you let your own reporters ask three questions first, we are also guests." ”
Tiger raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't think I invited you to be this reporter, right?" And the champion of our rocket is Chinese, not yourself, right? ”
Tiger won the favor of most Chinese reporters in one sentence, after all, some problems between China and China have not yet reached a conclusion, which makes many Chinese very unhappy, and an American can not give himself face like this, which makes many Chinese feel very enjoyable.
And the complaining reporter was also pressed back by the murderous eyes of some reporters in his country.
When the South Korean reporter saw such a thing, he directly became a turtle with a shrunken head, after all, such an American rich man is not something that ordinary people can provoke.
With a gesture of please from Tiger, a very wonderful press conference began.
